Terminal Blocks

タイトルまたは説明

A terminal block is a screw-type electrical connector where the wires are clamped down to the metal part by a screw. It is a connector which allows more than one circuit to connect to another circuit. It often contains two long aluminum or copper strips that are designed to connect different components. These strips create a bus bar for power distribution that is sent to the connected components. A barrier strip is composed of several screw terminals.



There are many applications that use terminal blocks & barrier strips. Screw-type terminals are often used in order to connect a chassis ground, like on a surge protector. Several public address systems use them for speakers and other s and outputs. Screw terminals are very widely used in electricity wiring, to connect switches, and for connecting major appliances to plugs at home.
